Does GS have a coach? Sure don't look like it.

Their style of play is fun but nobody can honestly believe that is a good long-term style. Crazy. They will look atrocious for 5 mins then score 12 points in 1 minute.

4 pt lead with 2.5 left in OT

Final (OT): Magic 123 - Warriors 117



The Magic escaped the road trip with a victory in overtime.. they dont play til Friday..

[Feed_Dwight]

Great game. I didn't think we'd win this one.

[JNice]

I think it is time to consider this team is pretty much for real. 16-4 and 11-2 on the road is just plain excellent.

[Babir]

What a win!!!
Congratulations guys!
Bogans and Jameer had a great games for us, Dwight should reduce his turnovers...

In fairness I think 2 of those were offensive and 2 were 3 second calls .... the rest was the utter chaos GS creates ... that and the crazy hacking triple teams every time he got the ball down low.

Dwight was clearly tired and frustrated but still managed to contribute with 23 rebs and 7 blocks ... very nice.

Yep that's what I saw.. 23 boards and 7 blocks.. 18 pts too.. still amazing!

I thought Dwight looked tired last game ... more so tonight. Amazing he had 23 rebounds because I swear he had his hands on at least 10-12 more that he usually grabs but just didn't get to tonight. If he were fresh he could have had 30 rebounds tonight.

Orlando Magic: I'm sold. Big time.

To come through, withstand the Warriors run in the 4th, only to come back, get the game into OT (despite a bull**** "T" on Howard) - you earned a tough one tonight.

Don't come back to Oakland anytime soon.

Seriously, you guys make it hard to score in the paint. Howard has become a dominant presence in the paint on BOTH ends - and your perimeter players were hitting big time shot after shot.

Good luck the rest of the way.

That was one crazy *** game. I thought for sure there at the end of regulation Orlando was done.

You know, despite Baron having a horrible game, I figured if the W's didn't win in regulation, they'd be done in the OT, having to play a full 5 minutes w/out him. 4 Warriors turnovers didn't help, either.

[Idunkonyou]

The reason Howard had 9 turnovers tonight was because 2 or 3 were 3 second violations, which Howard seems to get called for the fastest by the refs in the entire league. He was also hacked a bunch of times that led to a turnover that should have been a foul. From what I saw, he only had 3 or 4 legit turnovers, but whatever. The Magic got the win.

[Idunkonyou]

By the way, any one else notice how stupid that one Warrior's announcer sounded? He basically trashed Howard and said he can only score on dunks and put backs, plus if he had to take a center in the draft #1 he would take Yao over Howard. Either this guy had never seen Howard play before or he is an ignorant guy all together when it comes to basketball. I mean Howard didn't have his best game tonight, but give me a break.
